Beautiful place, but very difficult to get to! I suggest trucks and off road vehicles only because it it difficult to get to with a small car.

The Cenote is huge on the outside / surface, but what blew my mind was the floor size (we scuba dived). Amazing experience topped with a few surprises at the bottom!

Absolutely beautiful and worth the trouble to get here. We ended up going down an inaccessible road and someone from town biked after us, tried to explain how to get there, and then accompanied us to the cenote. There’s several people in town you can pay to guide you there, which was 250 mxn and we went to this cenote and yaal utzil for a total of 2-3 hours. The road is not marked, you take the same dirt road past yaal utzil and then keep going. There’s multiple gates to go through and a fork that’s not well marked. I don’t think we would have found it without help (thanks Ernesto!). However, out of the 4 cenotes we’ve been to this was easily the most beautiful. Even with the recent rains it was blue and clear, with birds swooping around inside to their nests. Beautiful! The cost was 70/person and 30 for a life jacket rental if needed.

Very remote, but it's definitely worth it. Beautiful cenote. Quiet, no tourists. Just a cenote, no food, no vendors, no little souvenir shop. ENJOY!

If you want the experience of jumping 30-40 ft into a cenote, this is the place for you. It is definitely off the beaten path and you may want to walk the last 4.5 km if you have a small car. We made it there with a Dodge Neon though but it took 20-30 mins on that road

This is a truly Hole in the Wall. Off the beaten path in Yucatán. You need to either come with a guide or by yourself, but if coming by yourself, stop at the end of the last town when the road changes from paved to dirt and ask local people to take you there so they can open the doors that are on the road. They will charge entrance per person and you need to tip the person that took you there in their bike or motorcycle.

Beautiful cenote. Go there about noon for the light to enter in the middle of the cenote. 100 pesos entrance fee for foreigners and 70 pesos for Mexicans. Google Map gives you a wrong direction. Just take the road that goes to Cenote Nah Yah and keep going. The road is quite bad and it takes a while for 4-5 km.

We had a fantastic visit to this beautifully restored hacienda! The property is stunning, full of history, charm, and original furniture that really transports you back in time. Our guide, Arsenio, was truly exceptional. Although he doesn’t speak English, he spoke slow and clear Spanish, which made it easy for us to understand. His passion and knowledge were obvious, especially since he actually worked on the hacienda when he was younger! He gave us a full tour of the grounds, explained the fascinating history of the place, and even demonstrated how henequén was made. At 200 pesos per person, it’s more than worth it for the experience. Plus, it’s just a short 35-minute drive from Mérida. Highly recommended if you’re looking to explore a hidden gem with a personal, authentic touch

Excellent hidden gem for those who love old things and taking great photos. About 40 minutes from Merida by car, and there were very few people (I think I was the first visitor in the morning). It's basically one big museum, not a hotel or pool. You can see the old abandoned machines that were used for henequen production, and much of the old furniture is there. Entrance was 150 pesos, check the website ahead of time because some days they are closed for private functions. Highly recommended.

A truly amazing place. An eerie ruined hacienda, part of which was restored to host a restaurant and a small museum. The are are tours of the former grounds and factory for a small fee. The restaurant is pretty good especially considering the remote location, and the place itself is magical. Definitely out of the way, but it is a treat!

This is a lovely example of a hacienda from Yucatan's past. The main house features beautiful antique furniture and original decor, all kept in pristine condition. The website noted that there was a restaurant and gift shop, but we didn't see either of these. There was a store in the town where we could buy cold drinks. Be sure to check the website for certain days when the facility is not open to the public (due to private functions). They will give you a brochure in English about the facility but their tour guides only spoke Spanish. Wonderful photographic opportunities throughout. Reasonably priced entrance fees.

The small admission price of 125 pesos is well worth it to get a sense of the grandeur of the hacienda, the workings of the henequen (sisal) factory and just to walk the beautiful grounds. In its heyday the grounds encompassed 22,000 acres and today at only 1/3rd. that size they still seem expansive. We appreciated that information signs and a pamphlet were in both Spanish and English. The beautiful old hand-painted tile floor with each room different, gleam like new. The walls which soar to high ceilings are covered in stencil work, each room unique. We generally are not shoppers but purchased 3 items at the gift shop. Water and Coke are available for purchase the have while relaxing in wrought iron furniture on one of the decks. An elderly Spanish speaking gentleman for a small donation explains the workings of the sisal factory. His non-verbal language is pretty good too so we could get the gist of it.

We’ll kept hacienda with such beautiful rooms. We meet a man there who worked there over 30 years ago in the henequén factory and he showed us around the machines used. They are currently restoring some of the rooms, but for the most part everything was open.

Really worth it if you are doing the ride from Merida to Uxmal. It's not in great condition but it seems that they are currently investing to renovate it. This place has a lot of potential as a touristic attraction.

We only visited this cenote in our road trip from Cancun to CDMX and back, so I cannot compare with others. Yup, over 4000 km on the road behind us. And I am glad we saved this for our last days in Mexico. Cenote Kankirixche is sparkling clean (20.Aug.2025), there were not much people, only one Italian family, they were pokite dodn't made too much noise. Entrance fee is 100 pessos per person.

The road is quite uneven go get there, but the spot is beautiful ! When we came a group left, and when we left a group came - so we had it all on our own ! Costs 100 pesos for each person - there are both toilets and showers at the spot !!

It's one of the nicest places I've ever seen! Not touristic and therefore not crowded. The ticket is around 10 usd. The road is dirty and with rocks, but slowly and carefully can be traversed by regular, not very low car. Highly recommended!!!

Nice small cenote, costs 100 MXN. In the ceiling there nests a lot of small birds. People at the park were friendly. If you arrive early, no tourists. We weren’t so lucky and had a group of loud Americans. But we enjoyed anyway.

Please be aware of possible scams! This cenote has free entrance, but there are two people claiming you must pay 100 pesos per person to get in, they are lying. There’s no official ticket booth. We refused to pay and simply went ahead.

A bit more covered with a touch of cooler water this cenote is lovely. A tour did come through as we were leaving but it wasn't very crowded. The color of the bottom and various formations make it a better experience. A simple bathroom was sufficient for the amenities. Well priced at 100 pesos

This cenote is small, but beautiful. Do not pay any attention to the review stating that the people charging 100 pesos are scam artists. Who do they think cleans and maintains the changing rooms, bathrooms, and showers? There are also life jackets available for those who need them. The dirt road leading to the cenote is quite rough, and very narrow, but it's manageable so long as you go slowly. Recommended!

Excellent, unique experience! Tips on getting there if driving: don’t listen to Google Maps toward the end of the drive - turn when you see the sign “Grutas Calcehtok,” even if Google tells you to keep driving. Then, walk about 300m on the well-marked trail to get to the location where the guides are waiting - if they are not there, you will likely have to wait for them to complete the tour they’re on. We did the easiest (familiar) tour, which took about 40 minutes and went into the first cave. It was very large and open, with lots of artifacts and sacred sites. The next step up was a 90 minute tour into the second cave, which involved more intense climbing and squeezing through tight spaces. Our guide was fantastic - extremely informative and let us set our level of adventure. Highly recommend!

One of our favorite things we did on our Yucatan trip. Other reviews are right about bumpy road, and following signs instead of GPS at the end. We did the aventura leve: which entails maneuvering through tight spots and at one point crawling army style. Expect to get dirty, and if going during rainy season covered much more in clay. Our clothes and shoes were covered in mud and some guano, which we washed out relatively easy- a worth price. Spent about 2 hrs from start to finish. Guide mentioned a nice cenote about 15 minutes away he recommended to visit after to wash off, but we didn’t do.

Off the beaten path!! PLEASE READ before you go. Is truly off the beaten path, but, if you can get there, it can be a life time experience. DO NOT come with big city expectations. It is a humble place and a humble operation. Road to it has big pot holes, small signs, no restroom at the location, no infrastructure. What you do have is a pristine raw location years ahead before it becomes a major touristic stop. HIRE THE GUIDE! For two reasons, 1st- The best part is that the guides here are a family who have been running it for decades and are Mayan decedents. 2nd- SAFETY, the place is dark, not marked, slippery and you can easily get hurt if you try to go on your own. Don’t be cheap and stupid, paid for the guide and make sure you TIP them. They will keep you safe and create a life time memory you can share for the rest of your life. You will get dirty, small tight spaces, bring a face mask, there is bats inside. “The magic is not to find the next amazing place. The magic is to continue to be amazed by the next magical place you find” Thank you Sergio for keeping us safe and sharing so much of your ancestors. Muchas gracias Sergio por mantenernos seguros y compartir tanto sobre tus ancestros.

This place was awesome. The guide said he was normally around from 9am to 6pm. At least 2 caves that on site that we saw. When we got there no one was to be seen. So we just hiked up hill to where we thought the caves were. Turns out we were right and found the main cave. We were talking up at the top and the guide calls from in the cave and comes out to says hi. He was just bring down 2 other people and said we could join them. Thankfully he heard us because we would not have been able to go since he was the only person around. But the tour was freaking awesome! Crawled through what was called the birth canal, and man it was a tight fit! About 1.5hr tour for 150 per person. The extreme tour (we unfortunately didn't have time to do it was another 2-3hrs) this place was spectacular, highly recommended it!!!

Great adventure. A tour below the ground about the history of the Maya People. A challenging climb through a lot of caves. One of the best attractions in Yucatan.

My family had a great time exploring the caves with our guide. He didn't speak English and we only have very limited Spanish but we could still understand him well enough. He could still tell us about the history and importance of the place. We did the easy family tour but my kids still got to clamber up onto ledges and climb into crevices. The other reviews are correct in that the road there is very potholey and there are no washrooms on site.

We made to the parking lot, the wife's knee was not up for the climb uphill. There is a new turnoff for parking area at about 20.560638, - 89,925031 I have added a picture of the signs at thr turn. We will try later. It looks like a nice hike.

Great experience. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. We saw amazing mangrooves and a beautiful lagoon . There is a little lake which is really heart shaped. We took the canoe tour, but you can also do it with kayak. An eco friendly and responsible way to visit this area .

We did the Clásico tour on a Canoe in Spanish and we loved it. José knew a lot about the area and the place and shared his knowledge with us. It was such a special experience to see the light hit the red coloured water! We were lucky to see a crocodile, a leguan, different birds (incl. some flamingos in the distance) and crabs. The Guardianos are not just an organization to show tourists the area but they deeply care about its wellbeing and preservation. If you want to book a tour, highly recommend doing it here!

It was a brilliant experience at a fair price. We booked the special canoe tour of 2.5 hours and really enjoyed it - we managed to spot several birds, 2 crocodiles and were lucky enough to see a few flamingos althought we weren't in season. Our guide, Chucho, was warm and knowledgeable. These guys need support and are definitely worth it.

Great people who made sure I had a fluent English speaker as my Spanish is not good. Elijah was a great guide. Although it was the wrong time for flamingoes, the journey through the mangroves was awesome. Highly recommended.

Incredible experience - definitely worth getting out of the bed before dawn. The group is passionate about the nature reserve, the environment and about conservation. Isaac (who speaks perfect English btw) was genuinely happy every time he spotted a new animal for us. The marsh/mangrove is beyond beautiful. Everything is arranged with the utmost respect for the nature. Highly recommended.

Phenomenal experience! We got up at sunrise for the special kayak tour with Issac. It was so peaceful and quiet. Issac was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable about the local mangrove ecosystem. We were lucky enough to see an abundance of wildlife, including crocodiles, kingfishers, pelicans, herons, and of course flamingos! Highly recommend for nature lovers!

We had a 2 hour kayak tour (there is also an option for a canoe if you don’t want to do the paddling yourself) with Markus who was warm knowledgeable, and his English was great. The environment is magical, completely otherworldly. We saw boa constrictors, lizards, an abundance of beautiful birds and the beady eyes of a small crocodile up close. The finale is the flamingos! A beautiful way to appreciate and incredible environment- highly recommended. Great value and real care for the environment evident.

Miguel was an amazing guide! We got there at 8am and paid 2500 for a private tour for 2. Lots of time at flamingoes, they were about 50 yds away but we couldn't get closer because of low tide and we were aground. Mangrove tunnel was cool, Miguel's English and our Spanish were good enough to give us a great tour and insight into the area!

On the beach there were a group of people under two wooden roofs. We tried to find other tourists that might be interested in joining a tour. Initially we could find any, but the reason was mainly because besides us everyone just sport Spanish. We joined a tour that was ready to go. In total we were 9 passengers and the two of us payed 400 MXN per person. The tour room about 2 hours, but could have easily been shorter in my opinion. The boat driver spoke only Spanish. We first cruised along the shore where we saw beautiful Pelicans. Then we stopped and had to get off the boat to walk for a bit to get a view of a group of Flamingos. I was hoping for more Flamingos since we came in season, but that was it. Of the two hours we spend at most 5 minutes watching those Flamingos. Then we headed to the Mangrove tunnel which was ok. The interesting part were the red crabs. After this we continued down the shore and we got hopeful for more Flamingos, but we went to a spot, where some Passengers went swimming for a bit. Then we headed back to the beach. PS: The adventure starts with parking. We parked on the street where a gentleman who didn't speak much English threatened us that if we don't pay him 40 MXN to watch over our car, then some Bandidos might scratch it. We ended up paying and the car was fine. PPS: at the entrance of the town across the bridge there is a place where you can watch Flamingos without any tour and also with free parking. We were able to get much closer to the graceful birds there.

We were there little before 0800 and staff was already there. Due to us being early, even managed to get lil discount and four of us set off. Took lil more than two hours and was totally worth it. Saw gazzillion of young and mature flamingos, had a bit of mangrove canal tour and most important - interacted with local cocodrilo. Twice. Worth paying attention: if you want shorter bout trip, go for the ones near the bridge to the island of Celestun, since this one sails around entire island (~30min one way) before approaching flamingos; should you care, english or spanish tour, talk it out before sitting on a boat.

We were a group of 8 adults who went on the Flamingo Tour. I highly recommend taking the Ría Celestun Tour. You will find it located on the left side of the road right after you cross the bridge. This is located a few blocks before the town square and the beach on the Gulf of México. The best months to see the flamingos at this location: December- March (according to what i read online). We went at the end of February, and the flamingo population was very large. I took a lot of wonderful photos! Our tour guide, Victor, was fantastic. After taking us to the flamingos, he took us to other places on the lake. We saw many wonderful birds, termite nests, crocodiles, beautiful fish, springs, mangroves... Where the tickets are purchased, there are bathrooms and a few vendors. There is not a full restaurant - only snacks, drinks, and some fruits available. Later in the morning, the hats, T-shirts, swimwear, and the normal souvenirs were also available. I would highly recommend taking this tour! I will be happy to return anytime we have out-of-town guests visiting. Also, after the tour, head into town to go to the beach. The water here is so beautiful! It is worth making the time to go for a stroll, and enjoy one of the on the water restaurants. Enjoy!

Definitely worth doing. We paid 300 pesos per person on a boat of 8. It was easy enough to organise and we saw a few (not many) flamingos. The explanations were helpful (all in Spanish). There was a lot of travel time to and from but still a good way to spend 2 hours plus travel if you're coming from Merida.

Pack towels binoculars abs very good camera Comparing January to April is like night and day difference in terms of numbers of the flamingos January being far more populated. We ended up joining with a family on a boat tour 5 of us split was 480 pesos each. If the boat ride is not in your budget hang by the window and ask if anyone would like to share the boat. You need a good phone like Samsung note 20 or equivalent in taking pictures iphone 12 pro was not good enough from the distance in January the flamingos are everywhere so better chances of not needing a good phone. There is another stop and we had a good captain that speeded through the mangroves my heart was pumping a bit as I was trying to figure which one of my kids to save first 😁 The swimming area is a must do water is clear and salty

May 19th, 2022 I went on this interesting tour in Mexico and it was overal very beautiful and relaxing. We arrived to the place, got on a small 6 person boat and drove out like 20 miles. We ended up seeing over 3000 flamingos in the wild, they were all grouped up and eating. My tour guide was amazing!! Very knowledgeable, respectful, and answered all of my questions. He put his heart into his job. I think my boat captain didn’t speak English but that’s okay! We went for a ride down a river in the forest and that was absolutely peaceful and so beautiful to see! Then we saw a cenote and got to walk around and learn more about the nature! We ended at a beautiful restaurant in a small town and had an excellent meal and finished it off relaxing at the private beach! Overall very good experience, so much to see in the short 7 hours. The tour guide was awesome! I’ll never forget you my friend!

The food here is authentic and very tasty. This read the final stop of our tour to Uxmal, Kabbah and Choco story museum. A wonderful way to end the tour. Great food and company.

This is a restaurant that tour stops at and it was not impressive for me as a tourist. The atmosphere had a weird smell. There was no menu to consider and I had to tell them by mouth in Spanish which I did not understand at all and they rushed me to order. The menu I got was something like a tough pork steak that was cut with a thin fork and a thin knife. If you use too much force it will bend. To make matters worse the soft drink cost me an additional 50 pesos which to me was very expensive. The taste of the food was typical Mexican food. The staff was quite serious and not very friendly.

We were on a tour when we went to this restaurant, we ordered: - Guaccamole: Small portion on a tea plate, and it wasn’t like the ones I’ve tasted in Mexico, it came with nachos. - Pork steak: The pork steak itself was really good, very well marinated, but the condiments that came with it on the plate were less than average. - Fruit salad: small cup that had small squares of watermelon, ananas and melon.

This restaurant was awesome! We got to see them uncover our delicious cochinita pibil after cooking, and the sopa de lima was good too! The service was exceptional and the thatched roof was awesome 😄

Restaurante Halach - Huinic on the way from Uxmal to Mérida is a pleasant roadside eatery that exceeded my expectations. Considering it is a simple highway restaurant, the food was quite good for a decent price. The decor is simple but nice and cool thanks to the palapa, which adds a rustic charm to the dining experience. They offer a good selection of beers and drinks, which is a plus. I tried the panuchos with pork cochinita, and the serving was very generous with four panuchos—enough for two people for a lighter lunch. They also have discounted packages where you can select any starter (soup or guacamole), any main, and any dessert for a fixed price, which is a great deal. My friend had the pollo frito and was very happy with their meal as well. Previously, I always stopped at the restaurant just before, Ppapp Hol Chac de Uxmal, which offers similar fare and might look slightly nicer with more decorations, but it often has a longer wait time for food due to its popularity. Overall, Restaurante Halach - Huinic is a great stop for a tasty and satisfying meal when traveling between Uxmal and Mérida. Highly recommended for its generous portions, good service, and reasonable prices.

We had a nice late breakfast or early lunch after visiting Uxmal.

Panuchos with cochinita Pibil and empanada with cha ya cheese are must try! The flavor are so well balanced and it’s freshly fried! Pork in Yucatán style are also tasty. They are a local restaurant with authentic Yucatán food. Portions are large too! Horchata and Lima are also fresh and rich. Highly recommended.

This old hacienda has been transformed into a chocolate museum that tells snippets of the history of chocolate in a series of traditional Mayan houses. Separated by walks under the trees, visits to enclosures for rescued animals, and dioramas, the museum is loaded with info. I ended up taking pictures of the boards to read later because we ran out of time before we could explore the last three exhibitions properly. It's well worth the visit. This museum includes a demonstration of a Mayan cacao ritual, and a cacao ceremony with preparation of hot cacao that is out of this world.

While the museum was very nice, and we appreciated that they also try to save animals, we felt that their habitats were not big enough. We saw the jaguarundi pace constantly back and forth. There is definitely enough room on the property to give the animals the proper space they need, even if it means tourists might not always see them. I wonder if they really have the animal's best interest at heart...

We went to this museum as part of our tour with the mindset that we were bit sick of cacao tours as we have attended a few prior to this. However, we were pleasantly surprised by how good this was. This provided further insight into the history and manufacturing of cacao which supplemented the knowledge gained from our prior experiences. This museum also doubles up as an animal rehabilitation centre as it fosters wild animals including jaguars and monkeys that are not fit to be returned to the wild.

The museum itself is interesting and has some nice parts, but it’s heartbreaking to see wild animals kept in cages. Seeing a puma alone, terrified inside a large box, was truly shocking and unnecessary. Animals deserve freedom, not to be displayed like this. Please, give them back their liberty it’s the only truly respectful way to honor nature.

Learned some things about the history of cocoa in the Americas and how it is transformed into what we know as chocolate. But mostly a tourist trap, with a walking path and zoo. You can feed dejected spider monkeys peanuts from a coin operated dispenser if that is your thing.

Very fun and underrated! Perfect for kids. Loved the jaguar and the monkeys and all the rescue animals. My 3 year old got a chance to run around the playground too.

Absolutely wonderful experience here. It was nice to finally visit a chocolate experience in the country where chocolate is from, and in the jungle, no less! We got way more than we expected in this experience and it’s such a nice end to a visit to the nearby Uxmal ruins. The traditional Mayan huts were a nice touch for the learning experience. The cocoa trees on site were fun to see as well as the rescued animals and it was fun to learn a about what I think were alebrijes, but I forget. The Mayan ritual was very fascinating as well as learning about traditional cacao making. My boyfriend finally learned to love chocolate on this trip! He said the chocolate during the tasting was the best chocolate he has ever had (he’s more of a coffee guy). I, too, thought it was wonderful. Great experience. Highly recommend for anyone in the area.

This is an absolutely must go if you are visiting anywhere Merida, Yukatan area. I had a tour guide, Eric, who was amazing. Seeing the beautiful architectural structures was mesmerizing and intriguing. We saw wild life, many iguanas around the property.

This is way better than the famous Chichén Itzá. There's much more to see, it's quiter and it's not only Uxmal, UNESCO named a group of sites as one WHS. Do visit the other ones too, Kabah, Sayıl and Labna. Uxmal have official parking lot mostly in shade, washrooms and gift shops of course. Be ready to walk around, there are ramps for every single part of the site. I like it much more than the famous sister . But of course it's not like 2 hours drive from Cancun. Visit Uxmal and siblings and then spend the night in Campeche, also a WHS with a nice promenade and nice historic district.

My favourite ruin in Mexico I’ve seen. The details and artistry are unmatched. This archaeological site is extremely well preserved. We rented a car and went without a group. We paid 110pesos for parking and 580pesos per person to enter. There is so much to see, we spent over 4 hours exploring. If we went with a group we would have only had 2-3 hours. Highly recommend Uxmal to anyone interested in visiting.

Visited for the first time with a friend back in February. Its so fun to explore and imagine what the world was like back then. I really liked that you could climb up some of the areas and feel the rock and everything. Very immersive. Price was decent for an archeological site in my opinion. My friend also had a great time. A lot of it is shaded by trees which made it really enjoyable. wear insect repellent though.

Excellent experience. Uxmal is a beautiful pyramid. We went with a tour of ten. We had a guide who spoke good English. Spectacular views.

I personally thought this place was better than chichen Itza. No crowds, amazingly preserved, you were able to climb on top of buildings for an amazing view. The was so much to see here.

Just such an astonishing site. Beautifully maintained. Be prepared to walk though. Good shoes and a hat are a must. Non-citizens pay an additional fee. You have to pay that fee at a separate window than the entry fee. It is not self evident from the signage. Just be aware that you need the receipt with the QR code from window 1 (or 2) in addition to the entry ticket or they won't let you in.

It is under repairs but you can still see how complex the curves and the decorations are. The masks are in all different emotions, which are magic and fancy.

A beautiful area that is not crowded with people.

No poop to be found :) but some of the best preserved inscriptions in the Yucatan.

A magnific and impressive building. All the mask representing Chaak the rain god are an impressive display of the skill of the artisans

Summon the rain gods.

Must see

As part of our Ruta Puuc adventure, we spent a full day exploring Uxmal and stayed overnight at a nearby hotel. The next day, we visited three of the main archaeological sites, starting with Kabah and then continuing to Sayil. When we arrived, the entrance at Sayil was under construction—part of ongoing efforts to improve the site. There are some informative signs throughout, although no tour guides were available on-site. For visitors with mobility issues or elderly travelers, navigating the ruins can be a bit challenging due to uneven paths. One thing to note: to reach the South Palace and other key areas of Sayil, there’s a long, unsupervised trail through the forest that stretches around 3 kilometers. It’s a peaceful and adventurous walk, but I personally felt a bit uneasy given the remote setting and the thought of local wildlife—including jaguars.( I didnt see or heard any thanks goodness) The trail takes you deep into the jungle and you’re mostly on your own, so it’s important to know this. There were no water or drinks available for purchase at the site, so be sure to bring your own. Hopefully, once construction is complete, the updated facilities will include these basic amenities for visitors.

Truly beautiful place, well worth a visit. Very quiet, feels like the middle of the jungle.

Sayil was the third and the last for a day location of Puuc Route. (We missed Kabah, the most "discovered" and the biggest site). There are only few buildings, but they are located on significant (seems especially long after previous walks in the hot air) distance from each other. We spent about an hour there. At the entrance, there is a small open-air museum with huge stelae date back to 800-1000 AD. The centrepiece is a beautiful palace with 90 bedrooms. The rest of the buildings are in a less preserved form. The path lays mostly in the shadow of the jungle, but it was still hot to walk around.

These ruins are interesting. They aren’t so covered like the others before on the route, and it is looking different. If you like to have a walk, then you are right there. To the other little places, you have to walk 10 until 20 minutes to the next place. The walk is in the jungle, it was very relaxing. There aren’t many peoples. We saw only one other pair. The entrance fee is very less (I don't know right now, about 70 pesos i think). The rangers are very nice.

Only 20 mins from Uxmal and 70 pesos. Worth the visit if you want to see more ruins. It's fairly large and close to the road.

Very beautiful archaeological site. Less visited. It is kind of spread out. We got there late. So we didn't see the southern group of structures. I think I misunderstood from reading from these Google Map opinions, thinking it was a small site. Actually, you need more than one hour to visit every structure there. We have to go back there again. 70 pesos entrance fee.

Maya cities along the Ruta Puuc are truly incredible and rank among the world’s best archeological sites. Sayil is no exception. You’ll probably be alone while visiting, as few people venture beyond Uxmal . . . and this will make your experience even more magical.

Get a good time with

Great project recognizing Mayan culture, knowledge, art and history. Everyone should visit. Alejandro “Alex,” Carla and co are passionate teachers and sharers of their culture. This place is a work in progress and will only improve with time.

Informative museum and very friendly staff. They also have an interesting art gallery featuring local female artists and others from all over Mexico. It's about a one-hour drive from Campeche in a cute village. Would go again :)

great place well worth a visit. axa helped out my friends and i when we were stuck. again, thanks very much! id like to return someday.

An amazing museum botanical garden and art gallery would highly recommend 10/10 the tour of botanical gardens where super informative about local plant medicines

A nice place and a good explanation of traditional hat manufacturing and healing garden. Not much to see in the rest of the village Becal.

Educational presentation by a friendly man who's goal was to inform about Becal history, arts, and local Jipi (Panama) hats industry - not to sell you a hat.

Once in a lifetime! Get up close and personal while learning about crocodiles and their habitat. Tour guide was great and funny. Owners have amazing stories and are so welcoming. Try the crocodile dishes if you dare. "Croconachos" were very good.

Stayed here two nights ago. Slept in a beautiful wood cabin with a comfortable bed and a/c. The staff were wonderful. The manager Sergio was more than helpful. The food they serve in their restaurant is delicious and reasonably priced. Not a touristy place. Very peaceful. A real quiet fishing village

An exceptional place with kind and attentive staff and crocodile-driven owner Carlos. The tour around the farm was truly interesting, with a lot of information on crocodiles’ life and even anatomy. Food was amazing and not expensive at all. I strongly recommend this place to everyone staying in Celestún or Campeche. Totally worth the trip!

Excellent owners giving us quick tour before eating in their restaurant! We ordered mixed seafood cocktail, fish fillet & their "crocodile signature" of course (^o^) & we followed recommendation given by the lady owner "buttered crocodile" the ingredients are fresh only too much salt on the crocodile probably their added more salt on the salted butter when cooked it :P to compensate they gave us chocolate dessert! Price wise is reasonable for the remote area, 425 pesos for one starter, two main meals and three bottles of beers plus on the house desert plus eco tour! Awesome hospitality....

Fantastic hosts. Great activities. Would recommend this to everybody being in this region. Clean and comfortable rooms. Great food. The fishing and sea life tour is a must!

I simply must return here! I felt so at ease while learning about nature, and their tour through the mangrove is such a relaxing experience you can't miss it. In the end, you get to breath in the fresh ocean breeze and feel at ease.

The food was good, just a little too much pepper for my taste. Service was great and for a little extra you can take a walk through the crocodile farm. Just the roads to get there are not great.

Fun and educational walk-through with various artifacts. Allocate 40-60mins.

(Translated by Google) Screening schedule and guided tour of the naval museum in the library (to be able to enter the room where there is a 4D projection of the simulation of a ship and its route) 10am 12 p.m. 4 p.m. 6 p.m. There is no cost to enter the museum, I was not able to enter the other room due to the schedule But in the main room the information is very interesting about the types of ships and the representation of the large ship is incredible (Original) Horario de proyección y visita guiada al museo naval en la biblioteca (para poder entrar a la sala donde hay proyección en 4D de la simulación de un barco y su recorrido) 10 am 12 pm 4 pm 6 pm No tiene costo el acceso al museo, no pude entrar a la otra sala por el horario Pero en la sala principal la información es muy interesante sobre los tipos de barcos y la representación del barco en grande está increíble

(Translated by Google) A small museum with a few rooms containing interesting exhibits regarding Mayan culture and the city of Campeche. One of the rooms that I liked the most is the representation of what a ship looked like inside. Apparently at some point in the museum, the back of the ship had projections and movement to simulate the sensation of movement of the ship, but only the gaps remain from the projectors and that area no longer has movement, I still recommend visiting the museum. Note: the museum seems to be closed since the main door remains closed and there is little visibility inside, but the place is in operation, you just have to push the door to enter. (Original) Un museo pequeño con unas cuantas salas que contienen exposiciones interesantes con respecto a la cultura maya y a la ciudad de Campeche. Una de las salas que más me gustaron es la representación de como era un barco por dentro. Al parecer en algún momento del museo, la parte de atrás del barco tuvo proyecciones y movimiento para simular la sensación de movimiento del barco, pero de los proyectores solo quedan los huecos y esa área ya no tiene movimiento, aún así recomiendo visitar el museo. Nota: el museo pareciera que está cerrado ya que la puerta principal permanece cerrada y tiene poca visibilidad al interior, pero el lugar si está en funcionamiento, solo hay que empujar la puerta para entrar.

(Translated by Google) Excellent explanation from the guide and very friendly! Beautiful place to remember what life was like on a boat, even with a small place to feel like you are on one! (Original) Excelente explicación del guía y muy amable! Bello lugar para recordar como era la vida en un bote hasta con un pequeño lugar para sentirte que estás en uno!

(Translated by Google) The Museum of the City of Campeche, although small, is beautiful, it is worth visiting. On the ground floor they show us the most famous pirates and privateers who came to the city, as well as data from the time; On the upper floor, they show us replicas of different ships that were used in those years, with illustrations, models and very interesting explanations. For Mexicans, entry is free (we went on Sunday). Highly recommended. (Original) El Museo de la Ciudad de Campeche, aunque pequeño, es precioso, vale la pena visitarlo. En la planta baja nos muestran los piratas y los corsarios más famosos que llegaron a la ciudad, así como datos de la época; en la planta alta, nos muestran replicas de diferentes navíos que se utilizaban en esos años, con ilustraciones, maquetas y explicaciones por demás interesantes. Para los mexicanos la entrada es gratuita (nosotros fuimos en domingo). Altamente recomendado.

(Translated by Google) I revisited it after 7 years… I found the unpleasant surprise that two of its rooms were already closed. It's a shame because they were very interesting rooms about piracy and the city's fortifications. When asking when they were reopening, one of the ladies at the entrance petulantly tried to minimize the closure and the fact that we were not sure when they would reopen or what would happen. The Navigation Room and the mural are the most salvageable now… The good explanation of piracy was lost. It is small and quick to travel. (Original) Lo revisité después de 7 años… Me encontré con la desagradable sorpresa que dos de sus salas ya fueron cerrada. Es una lástima porque eran salas muy interesantes sobre la piratería y fortificaciones de la ciudad. Al preguntar cuándo reabrían, una de las señorita de la entrada, con petulancia, intento minimizar el cierre y el hecho de no tener certeza de cuándo reabrirán o qué sucederá. La Sala de navegación y el mural es lo más rescatable ahora… Se perdió la buena explicación de la piratería. Es pequeño y de rápido recorrido.

(Translated by Google) A very interesting place, the guide explains very well the history of the beginning of the city and its history as a port of navigation in general. (Original) Un lugar muy interesante, el guia explica muy bien la historia del inicio de la ciudad de su historia como puerto de la navegación en general

This is a house of a wealthy family turned into a museum. It’s shows the lifestyle and living standards of wealthy merchant family when compared to common people. It’s situated on the main central square. Nothing special and was small, however our tour guide made is interesting and the rating is in context of Campeche. We took a two hours walking tour which covered this. The tour was very reasonable.

20 mp each 03/22. Nice bit of history from the colonial Era on Campeche. It takes about 30 min.at a slow pace. Lots of looking around to do. There is a book store but everything I looked was in Spanish.

Free entry, you just have to sign. Nice House with English and Spanish description of the rooms.

This is free and very interesting to ddiscover the colonial period of Campeche. Located in front of a nice park but sad that most of the information is in Spanish, not much in English, so a sign for me to learn Spanish! Not very well maintained, hence just 4 stars

Beautiful place, inexpensive to get in and the gift shop has some nice items which are also very affordable. Worth the visit.

Nice house, it gives you an idea how the rich people live in Campeche on the past. This is inexpensive place. Only 20 pesos.

Nice place to see how People usted to live years ago. There is a bookstore too.

Great small hotel intercontinental the center of Campeche. Te rooms are clean, bit could be a little bit bigger. I rated this place 4 stars because of the good value.

Lovely hotel, with renovated and clean rooms, and good service!

clean hotel, average service. no parking available, no restaurant either, beds could be more comfortable, specially pillows (too tall). near historic downtown and restaurants in 59th street. OK for a one night stay, but not for prolonged stays

Rooms needs to be more clean

A couple of steps above a Motel 6.

This is a pretty unique attraction to visit in Mexico. An original fortified bastion with a former city gate within the framework of surviving and restored city walls. It appears like something you'd see in Spain or Portugal, which is what makes it so neat. It's not exactly pretty or spectacular, but it is unique. There are a few shops and a restaurant or two on the "old" side of the walls. If you look north, off in the distance you can see the Sea Gate at the other end of the old city. Nice!

A walk along the old Campeche city walls comes with some nice views. Keep in mind there is zero shade.

One of the best historical sights in town! For only 15 pesos you are allowed to climb the walls of the former fortifications with a beautiful view over the colorful city center. Highly recommended, well worth the price. Can be quite hot up there in the sun, though, better bring some water and a hat. You might expect to spent about 20 minutes there, if you walk all around.

Just a small part of Mexico's history. The whole city is really nice. Night show at Puerta de Tierra is ok, but unfortunately is only in Spanish, they should include an English version to welcome foreign tourism.

Fantastic little museum. Great collection and display of Mayan culture and history of Campeche... Also some awesome facts about 🏴‍☠️!!! The staff were eager to answer any questions about the exhibits and there were plenty of language options. Great for a quick tour and lesson on the area!

Worth a visit.Long wall,(like the great Chinas wall,but maybe Ch shorter:)). Beautiful views around for a 15 mnx cost.

Part of old colonial fort. Nice view from the walls.Pirat room at the entrance😁. Entrance fee 15 pesos. Also good pub opposite gate🍻

One of the oldest Mayan cities with amazingly preserved artifacts. The 5 floor pyramid is beautiful, the whole site is 10/10.

The most breathtaking sight I have seen so far! It is much bigger than you can imagine. We took a guide because there was 1 available and there were no visitors so it felt like a real private tour. The guide explained us much more than you are able to find yourself which made the experience even better!

Amazing and calm, do not miss this archeological site!!! After being shocked by the experience in Chichén Itzá with the many thousands of shouting vendors constantly breathing in our neck to buy at their stands, here we went through the opposite. Instead of the crowded and loud place we arrived to a calm and peaceful Mayan site with grandiose well-preserved ruins. We were probably a total of 10 people at the site at noon on this Tuesday. So special, we loved it! ❤️

Made an afternoon trip from Campeche as part of a Yucatán roadtrip. Absolutely worth the drive and feels unique compared with other sites in the region. Mid-sized site with a handful of enormous structures, most importantly the massive acropolis with the main palace. Almost everything can be climbed, the notable exception being the palace. Excellent small museum with everything translated into English. Iguanas are sparser compared to other regional sites so spotting them is a real treat.

A breathtaking site in incredible condition. Entrance is only 100 pesos and it is well worth getting a guide (although there is a great museum and helpful signage too). We spent 2.5 hours there but would have liked to stay longer

Nice archeological complex. We were almost alone in there. Not many tourist. Good value for the cheap entry fee. Lots of mosquitoes - bring some protection.

A must do in Campeche !!! Ancient beauty that the Mayas build & is still standing in great condition. The site is well kept, but no stores to buy water or food, so go prepare & it's really humid and hot. Mosquitoes 🦟 will bite you since you walk in, but you are in the middle of a tropical jungle, so take gallons of Mosquito repellent!!! Besides that, it's an incredible place to explore the greatest of the Mundo Maya in Mexico 🇲🇽

The cenote itself is beautifully located. The facilities are a bit run down. We spent about an hour in the place, and were all alone the entire time. Life jackets provided and opportunities to kayak and swim. The water is quite warm so the swim wasn't as refreshing as we'd hoped. All in all a nice place but probably not worth the 1.5h detour over very poorly maintained roads.

The place is decent, but Agua Azul is a lie. It’s murky green water. Naturally it’s beautiful, but nothing like the beautiful crystal clear waters of northern Yucatan peninsula. Nice the kayaks were included. 200 pesos seemed like a lot for a remote site like this, but overall a good experience. Probably wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re already in the area looking to buy some time. Monkeys are always a plus!

I really enjoyed this place. The men that ran the zip line really made sure I felt safe and were very patient. The only reason I didn't give 5 star is because they do not have water or snacks to purchase and if your there all day you will need to pack a lunch. BUT the team was helpful and went to town for us to purchase water. Overall worth the drive!

Beautiful place, very exciting the zip line, and swimming in the cenote to rejuvenate amazing 😀

This is a really lovely open air Cenote. First you take a walk, we also did a zip line high above the lake, that was awesome. You see the monkeys in the trees, and after aclgreat walk around, we had a “refreshing’. Swim in over 30’ C water. The middle of the lake is a bit colder. You should just visit this Cenote. You can also cano there.

Zip-lines were not working and we were charged 150 pesos per person. This is much higher than it used to be according to some reviews. But the worst of it all was that the gate was not fully opened which resulted in some scratches and a bump in our rental car... That being said, the place is great for kayaking and watching local nature. There are plenty of howling monkeys in the area! Observing them in the natural habitat was the highlight of the day.

Definitely closed for a long time now. No guards though, and the cenote is easily accessible around the utility shed. Absolutely worth it, beautiful scenery and amazing water. A couple local kids were enjoying when we stopped by and didn't care about our presence. Bring what you need and check it out, it's worth making the detour and stop.

(Translated by Google) Nice, very quiet place, I went in the morning, the staff is friendly, I enjoyed having the pyramids to myself, the good thing is that you can still climb them (Original) Bonito, lugar muy tranquilo fui en la mañana, el personal es amable, disfrute tener las pirámides para mi, lo bueno es que todavía se pueden subir

Beautiful place to visit

(Translated by Google) A very nice place to relax and spend time with the family, there is shooting and boat rides... (Original) Un lugar muy bonito para distraerse y pasarlo con la familia hay tiro lesa y paseos en lanchas...

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place, beautiful view, the only thing different this time is that the letters on the boardwalk are no longer there. (Original) Hermoso lugar, hermosa vista, lo único diferente está vez es que ya no están las letras del malecón

(Translated by Google) It's very pretty! Take the boat ride, it is totally worth it, to see animals such as crocodiles, manatees, monkeys and a variety of beautiful birds. Just ask if it's season because the latter migrate like any bird. (Original) Esta muy bonito! Tomen el paseo en lancha vale totalmente la pena, para ver animales como, cocodrilos, manatíes, monos y una variedad de aves preciosas. Solo pregunten si es temporada por que estas últimas emigran como cualquier ave.

(Translated by Google) Weekend visit while there is a fishing tournament. The place is simple but beautiful and the people are friendly. The local food is simple with good taste but remember to buy in hygienic places.

(Translated by Google) We arrived at a time when the manatee could not be seen. The place is beautiful but it looks neglected, it was very empty, there was no one offering boat services. However, the boardwalk area is very nice for a quick visit. There were also some restaurants open in front of the boardwalk. (Original) Llegamos en una epoca donde no se divisa el manatí, el lugar es bonito pero se ve descuidado, estaba muy vacio, no había nadie ofreciendo servicios de lancha, sin embargo esta muy bonita la zona del malecon para una visita rapida, también habia algunos restaurantes abiertos frente al malecon
